title: [Diagnosis and treatment of severe craniocerebral injuries. New developments (author's transl)].
abstract: Computer tomography of the skull has considerably improved the diagnosis of different neurotraumatological disease entities, since extracerebral and intracerebral hemorrhages, parenchymatous lesions and traumatic cerebral edema can be visualized directly. The coarse morphological changes and the indirect signs of post-traumatic space-occupying complications in the CT permit prognostic statements. A great advantage of computer tomography is that multiple intracranial lesions can be visualized simultaneously.
